US EditionUS would help assure Ukraine's security in a peace deal, Trump tells Zelenskyy
- On Monday, President Trump met Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House to discuss ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine through security guarantees.
- This meeting took place after a virtual discussion with Britain, France, and Germany, during which all participants concurred that altering national boundaries through force is unacceptable and considered potential security initiatives.
- Trump offered Ukraine protection described as like Article 5 of NATO, involving a small peacekeeping or observer force meant to deter Russia, while Zelenskyy emphasized practical guarantees covering land, air, and sea.
- Trump stated that the matter would be addressed during discussions that day and assured strong protection and security for them, while cautioning that European countries would need to shoulder much of the responsibility and that a credible deterrent might require deploying tens of thousands of troops.
- The outcome depends on further negotiations, including a planned call between Trump and Putin and potential trilateral talks, while analysts warn the guarantees face risks from Russian opposition and US Congressional approval.
